Crater Entertains Bedford
Tonight,
Tornado
How's with this fabulous
Southern Oregon conference
basketball race? Is somebody
soon going to open up some
daylight? Or, will the four
spirited contenders continue
their jammed up chase right
down to a photo finish at the
wire?
Those questions remained
as District 6 A-l cagers looked
to the completion of their
league's third round tonight
end the start tomorrow of the
gun. lap In their 16-game
elates.
Local attention tonight is
centered on Central Point
. where the Medford Black Tor
nado is guest of the Crater
High school Comets for an
8:15 o'clock engagement. Cra
ter (7-4) is co-leader in the cir
cuit with the Grants Pass
Cavemen, who are at Ashland
(2-9) at 8 o'clock this evening.
The Tornado, in a current
winning kick after laying
back in the pack, Is 6-5 in
third place and blowing on
the tail of the Fireballs and
the bludgeons of the Cave
men. ,
Tossup Games
Fourth round play in the
loop opens Saturday with
fourth place Klamath Falls
(6-6) at Crater and Medford
at Ashland. Posted tipoff
times are 8:15 p.m. at Central
Point and 8 p.m. at Ashland.
Medford-Crater and Klam
ath-Crater loom as toss-up tan'
glcs while Medford and
Grants Pass will go as favor
ites against the Ashland Grizz
lies. Ashland, however has
signified it does not intend to
be a pushover. It had Med
ford" s number once this sea
son and the Grizzlies, in the
worst way, want to spill the
Cavemen, the defending state
A-l champions.
Crater and Medford battle

Pels On Saturday;
Has Ashland Jaunt
took the first scrape 68 to 63
and Medford the second 67
to 58.
, Klamath Crater and Ash
land-Medford skirmishes will
be fourth meetings. Medford
beat the Grizzlies 76 to 41 and
71 to 49 and Ashland nosed
the Black Tornado 64 to 62.
Crater tipped the Pelicans 59
to 57 in overtime and 64 to
58. Klamath took one fray 69
to 63.
Wait For Whistle
Grants Pass-Ashland rival
ry has seen the Climate city
club beat the Bruins 67 to 39
and 61 to 55.
Mcdford's aggregation had
a light drill yesterday and
Coach Frank Roelandt said
that the Tornado "should be
ready." He declared, "It is
just a matter of waiting for
the whistle to blow." Probable
starters are Rich Benner, Jim
Hill, Jack Forde, Larry Vow
ell and Dan Miles.
Teams in this league main
tain "they're all tough" this
year. But, Coach Lloyd Hof-
finc's Crater Comets, making
their strongest showing in the
school's hoop history in the
circuit, figure they have it
toughest this week end. They
catch Medford on its upward
swing and Klamath fighting
to stop a losing streak, the
first setback of which was in
fllctcd by the Comets.
And, its two nights of battle
against overall superior
height. With Mcdford's Rich
Benner now on full-lime duty,
the Tornado looks to be a
tougher challenge. Klamath
Falls is reported at full
strength for the first time of
the campaign. The Pels
chalked up their losses to
Grants Puss and Medford last
week, at least in part, to sick
ness and injury.
The Comets have had Lou
Alvarez ailing this week from
infection resulting from a
floor burn but he is expected
to be in the opening lineup
along with Pat Pepper, Mike
Glincs, Howard Tomlinson
and Paul Bransom.
Eyes on GP

"We'll give a good go; we'd
kinda like to get that one,
said Bruin Coach George Keil
of the GP tilt. "But," he add
ed, "physically they outnum

Keil pointed out that the

Hedrick Junior high ninth
grade caught stride in the
second half and rolled out to
down Ashland 56 to 49 in
basketball on Thursday after
noon.
Triumph maintained the
undefeated record of the Hor
nets. Ashland led at the quar
ter 9 to 7 and the half 26 to
to 17. Hedrick went in front
34 to 33 at the third panel
and scored 22 points in the
fourth.
It was a case of Hedrick
being cold and throwing the
ball away in the first half
and the tables being turned
over the last two periods. A
good pressing job helped the
Hornets In the second half.
Bruce Bertrand poured in
28 Hedrick points, 14 .1 the
final quarter, despite having
been under the weather, Mike
Farthing, a late entry in the
mix, because of an ailing an

By Honk DeVott
Herd composition studies to
determine the ratio of bucks,
does and fawns on the big
game ranges of the state were
completed recently, according
to Phil Schneider, state game
director.
THE COUNT
Classification showed an
average of 21 bucks and 65
fawns ptr 100 dots on in
null deer ranges and 42
bucks and 69 fawns per 100
dees on the blacktail ranges.
This compares favorably with
the 22 bucks and 64 fawns per
100 dots on the mule deer
ranges in 1062 and the 35
bucks and 66 fawns per 100
does en the blacktail ranges
in 1962.
Schneider said that game
biologists in their travels on
big game ranges observed a
total of 22,400 deer compared
to 23,655 deer the previous
year. About 1,500 less mule
deer were observed during
the classification inventories,
while 255 more blacktail deer
were tallied than the previous
year.
VARIATIONS
Schneider pointed out that
there were some discrepancies
in fawn production on adja
cent mule deer ranges of east
ern Oregon. As an example,
he explained, the Fort Rock
unit tallied 77 fawns per 100
does. On the adjoining Paulina
range fawn production had
dropped U) 45 per 100 does.
Last year the Paulina unit
averaged 62 fawns per 100
does.
Another example was in
southeastern Oregon where
the Sleens mountain unit
classification gave a very low
31 fawn per 100 does, while
on the adjacent Warner unit
production averaged 81 fawns
per 100 does. A wide differ
ence in buck-doe ratios was
also noted on two adjacent
ranges, Fort Rock data indi
cated 52 bucks per 100 does,
while the Silver Lake unit
sampled 28 bucks per 100
does. Some northeastern Ore
gon units displayed decreased
fawn production, reflecting
the previous poor wintering
conditions on these ranges.
However, the northeastern
region average of 71 fawns
per 100 does compares favor
ably with last year's ratio of
73 fawns per 100 does.
BY REGIONS
Although fluctuations oc
curred on all ranges, regional
herd composition parallels
that of last year. In the black
tail ranges of the northwest
the average tor the region
was 51 bucks and 67 fawns
per 100 does compared to 41
and 74 the previous year.
Buck-doe and fawn-doe ratios
in the southwest region stood
at 31 bucks and 72 fawns com
pared to 31 and 64 in 1962.
Down through the central
region of the stale, mule deer
herd composition was 22
bucks and 59 fawns per 100
does compared to 23 and 65
in 1962. Northeastern Oregon
showed 19 bucks and 71 ,
fawns per 100 does compared
to 22 and 73 the previous
year. In the southeast the
ratio stood at 21 bucks and
65 fawns compared to 22 and
64 last year.
LAST WORD
Biologists report that big
game are wintering well on
most game ranges. The ani
mals remain widely scattered
from low to high elevations
as a result of the open winter.
Food supplies remain good
and deer and elk appear to
be in good physical condition
for this time of year.

THE ANGLER'S LOG
The weatherman isn't too
optimistic about the week
end, and keeps muttering
threats of rain on Saturday.
This is the last chance for
those who have only the week
end to fish, so it would seem
the neighborly thing if every
one would wear their sun
shine suits instead of rain
suits.
Applfgate River There are re
ports of fish being caught here and
there, but there doesn't seem to
be much better than here. Cluster
eggs are doing most of the busi
ness. Chetco River Almost all of the
fish being caught are spawied out
and heading downstream. It Isn't
too difficult to catch a fish, but
who wants a long, skinny, taste

DODGE TRUCK LEADS INDUSTRY IN '62 SALES INCREASE! Dodge
truck sales for 1962 climbed a sharp 45.5, at almost double
the rate of our nearest competitor. And for the last quarter
of '62 they rose even more impressively-67.6 over the same
period of 1961. We figure that Dodge truck sales are going up,

It seems that almost every

ed by high waters or low wat
ers that interfere with the

kind of interference, but in
the long run it's probably the
only protection the fish have
from the mass of fishermen
